Want to Audit the Fed? Do Something About It.

[Adam Weinberg]

For the 75% of the people on JPP who don't need any convincing. Don't close this thread until you've contacted your Senators (and check if your member of the House supports HR 1207).

From Campaign for Liberty at about 5PM Pacific:

C4L staffers have been working very closely with Senator Jim DeMint’s office in recent days to advance Audit the Fed (S. 604) in the Senate.

Just a little while ago, it was announced that Senator DeMint, who is the lead Senate cosponsor of Audit the Fed, has put a “hold” on Bernanke’s confirmation for a second term as Federal Reserve chairman until S. 604 receives an up or down vote on the Senate floor.

Keep reading for more details on how your immediate action could help make this vote possible.

While Ben Bernanke was handed a few softball questions from establishment politicians during today’s Senate Banking Committee hearing on his nomination, he also faced serious grilling from senators who are tired of his evasive answers and secretive practices.

DeMint is joined by Senator Jim Bunning and S. 604 sponsor Senator Bernie Sanders in pledging to block action on Bernanke’s reconfirmation.

According to DeMint, "Mr. Bernanke has been one of the chief proponents of the Fed's easy money policy that created the current financial crisis. He ignored asset bubbles, dismissed concerns about the weakness of the dollar, and helped encourage the credit mania that led to the financial panic. Even worse, Mr. Bernanke has refused to accept any responsibility for his role in these actions prior to financial crisis.

Read the rest of his press release here.

Ultimately, Bernanke’s reconfirmation is irrelevant to the main issue, which is bringing real transparency to the Fed.

It doesn’t matter who’s at the wheel of the car; they will still be driving a clunker.

Contact your senators today and tell them that before they consider either reconfirming Ben Bernanke or appointing a new Chairman, they must deliver the answers the American people want and deserve by giving Audit the Fed a standalone, up or down vote on the Senate floor.

And if you live in Kentucky, urge Senator Bunning to take an even stronger stand by cosponsoring S. 604.

You and I have come so far this past year in our battle to Audit the Fed. Now, we have an excellent chance of seeing S. 604 debated on the Senate floor. But we must take immediate action to turn this chance into a reality!

Contact your senators right away!


In Liberty,




John Tate

President


P.S. Audit the Fed has gotten further than ever before, but we need your help to achieve standalone votes in the House and Senate as we seek to turn it into law! Click here to contribute to C4L today as we work to finish this fight!

Populist garbage.

watermark = pwn

[MakeMeASandwichBitch]

One of the greatest strengths of the American economy is our independent fed. Now congress wants to go stick its nose up its ass and ruin our fucking economy just for a few fucking votes from ignorant fools who don't understand how a monetary system works. Pure. Populist. Garbage.

[MakeMeASandwichBitch]

Whether it's Williams Jenning Bryant (a populist whore who panders to ignorance that inflation = good) or Ron Paul (a populist whore who panders to ignorance that deflation = good) we always have someone pop up in our age and say they have a magic solution to all ills if we're willing to simply annihilate the soundness of our currency. Economic rationalism must win the day, we must not let the forces of darkness, the forces of ignorance, put out the light. Whether they be libertarians, or religious people, they're all the same.

Watermark, you are an ignorant fool. The fed is as independent as the corporate interests that run the damn thing. You would rather stay ignorant to the policies of the fed and let corruption run rampant, go back to playing board jester, because you clearly are an idiot.

It funny you talk about 'forces of ignorance' yet think this bill is garbage. An audit would be a source of sunlight into a secretive system. You would rather everyone stay ignorant.

It does not threaten their independence.

exactly.... it simply holds them accountable...

My Rep is already on the list. But not surprised that neither of my Senators are on the list.

They shall be hearing from me today. Thanks Adam.

Senator,

I am writing to you today to strongly encourage your co-sponsorship of the bi-partisan S. 604.

The citizens of this country need to know they can trust institutions such as the Fed. It plays too large a role in our economy to go without more transparency in its actions.

Thank you for your time and best wishes to you and your staff during the holiday season.

Just sent this to Bennett and Udall

[MakeMeASandwichBitch]

I just sent a letter to all of mine saying to oppose this piece of crap. Hopefully it dies in committee.

why are you so afraid watermark? are you hiding acorns....

watermark doesn't trust his own logic and judgement, therefore he seriously distrusts anyone elses. A government entity, no matter how inept, is always preferable to someone like watermark because it leaves him a convenient scapegoat for all his bad choices. It allows him to point fingers at all who oppose him while leaving the government entity untouchable.

you should move to europe, wm. they really have a society all built for you over there.
